Let’s dive into this complete guide that covers travel routes, day-wise customised itinerary, inclusions, travel tips, and unique things you must do.
How to Travel from Gorakhpur to Nepal?
1. By Road – Best Way (Private Cab)
- Distance: Around 300 km to Kathmandu via the Sunauli border
- Travel Time: 9 to 10 hours approx
- Benefits: Smooth, flexible, and scenic journey
Musafircab provides private AC cabs that pick you up right from your doorstep in Gorakhpur and take you directly to Kathmandu.
2. Train + Bus (Budget Friendly but Time-Consuming)
- Take a train from Gorakhpur to Sunauli
- Cross the border on foot (passport/ID required)
- Continue by tourist bus to Kathmandu
This method is cheaper but exhausting and not suitable for families or senior citizens.
3. Flight (via Varanasi or Lucknow)
No direct flights from Gorakhpur to Nepal. You must reach Varanasi or Lucknow and then fly to Kathmandu. Best for luxury travellers.
Our recommendation: Travel by private cab with Musafircab for comfort, reliability, and a seamless Indo-Nepal transfer.
